Can Scalp Massages Help With Hair Growth?
Hair is a crucial determinant of our appearance and personality.
Hair is a crucial determinant of our appearance and personality. It also plays a vital role in protecting the scalp from UV rays, regulating body temperature and providing sensory input. Many want healthy, radiant hair and explore various methods, including scalp massages. But do these massages promote hair growth or accelerate it?
In this article, we examine scalp massages and their potential for improving hair growth, with insights from Dr. Philip Solomon and Dr. Mark Korman, the experts at the Toronto Hair Transplant Clinic.
What is a Scalp Massage?
Scalp massage is a therapeutic technique that applies pressure and gentle movements to the scalp to stimulate blood circulation, relax muscles and improve scalp health. Using fingertips or tools, the scalp is kneaded in circular motions.
Does a Scalp Massage Help With Hair Growth?
Although scalp massages are not a guaranteed solution for hair growth, they can offer potential benefits. Massages help deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles by stimulating blood circulation to the scalp, creating an environment conducive to hair growth. Furthermore, massage can indirectly contribute to healthier hair growth by reducing stress and tension.
3 Ways to Massage Your Scalp
Here are three ways to incorporate scalp massages into your routine to better stimulate hair growth:
Fingertip massage
This versatile method can be easily integrated into your daily routine by simply using your fingertips. It increases blood flow to hair follicles, relaxes scalp muscles, and reduces tension, promoting relaxation and well-being.
Kneading massage
Gently lift and knead parts of the scalp to relieve scalp tension, headaches or stress-related tension. Be gentle and adjust the pressure according to comfort to avoid excessive force or discomfort.
Using scalp massage tools
Portable scalp massagers are designed to enhance scalp massages by providing additional stimulation and increasing blood circulation. These tools usually feature rounded knots or bristles that gently massage the scalp in circular movements. They can be used on wet or dry hair. If you use essential oils, remember to dilute them in a carrier oil to avoid damaging your hair.
